The cloud idea is not very smart from the get-go..
First in many cases you sign your rights to your material away...
Second if your data gets lost you are out of luck and have nowhere to turn for damages.

When Cloud was first introduced, it appeared to be a Micro$haft product (That ought
to make you suspicious iin the 1st place). As time progressed, there were differentclouds, but none guaranteed security or hack-proof. It was at this point, I decided thatcloud computing was not safe for making back-ups and plan to use the DVD burner to
do mine.

The Part 90, Public Safety database will be in a seperate section of the 2TB hard drive and
running DOS 6.22. The rest of the drive will be for pictures, music, electronics.

I've seen some publicly accessible photo and blog sites with this disclaimer, but doubtful a private cloud storage provider would do this.

Maybe I haven't seen enough sites but I've never seen a big name / mainstream site that says if you upload a photo or writing or other content then we own your content.

The thing that most sites have is a clause that says something like "You grant us permission to make it available on the internet for the purposes of operating the service". If you read those clauses carefully, they need that to cover themselves and make the service actually work. If you upload a photo to Flickr, you need to grant Flickr the right to send it out again through a web server otherwise the system cannot even function.

Most of the uproar that has occurred from time to time over the years with terms of service on various sites seem to have been a misunderstanding of that clause, sometimes because of bad wording

OK, it sounds like you aren't familiar with the purpose of cloud storage. It is 3rd party, off-site, live, private storage. The storage space is supposed to be private, confidential, and only accessible by the user. A place that exists on the internet for you to store secure copies of documents, phone books, etc...
